Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …
Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …
Transformers The Dark Side of the Moon Movie

Hot Fuzz (2007 Film)
If you have enjoyed the guys from “Shawn of the Dead” then you will also enjoy this new film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in the 2007 film “Hot Fuzz”. This film was hilarious and very entertaining to watch, with the British humor and some explicit death scenes, …
Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.

I don’t usually like cartoons. But a friend introduced me to the Spawn animated series. I saw the movie years ago, and didn’t like it. But at the time, I didn’t really have an appreciation for comic book culture. In any case, …

“The Seven Samurai” filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1954 still remains one of the most popular movies of all times. Almost a three and a half hours long, the movie runs with subtitles, so be warned if you find having to read subtitles annoying.

Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
The Other Guys Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because it features Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell and they’re pretty famous for doing comedies and it would be fun to watch Mark do a comedy with Will, so I watched this and I can say I’d rate it a 6 out of 10. Their …

Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Movie
This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …
A Christmas Carol (1938)

Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …

Steve Forrest wasn’t a favorite actor of mine, but he did do several movies and TV shows that I liked, which balanced all the performances I didn’t like of his. This movie, The Hanged Man from 1974, is somewhat in the middle.
If you didn’t know it, the film …

Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.

There Will Be Blood (epic drama movie)

Half Nelson Movie
Half Nelson is one of those movie that you absolutely have to watch more than once just because you can never get all the details and all the meaning from the first time. There is not a single false movie in the movie, there isn’t a single acting moment …

I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Galaxy Quest movie
